7 Pounds...?

I just watched the highly anticipated movie produced by Will Smith called 7 Pounds. I have to admit that I was extremely glued into the movie from the beginning to the end although there were some downfalls. 7 pound's actual story line is excellent with a great deal of mystery and confusion from the beginning to the end, which got me glued into trying to figure out his actual occupation and intentions. Some bits in the movie really portrayed extreme situations, filled with anger, love and also passion. I found out, however after the second time that i had watched it, some of the faults that really bring the movie down. To start off with, the movie is way too long. It carry's on for a long time with no answers despite the fact that it is all explained in the end, which I thought really brings down the quality of this movie. Everyone that I have watched it with enjoyed the movie, but just felt it carried on a bit more then it should have. Also I didn't really understand why he had committed suicide using a jellyfish. Surely the shockwaves of the jellyfish could cause some harm to internal organs which defeats the whole purpose of the movie. Although overall, I thought the movie was great and I really enjoyed it, and I would suggest the movie to anyone to watch atleast once, and at most once.

3d Max...

My first animation ever. Using 3D max, we've just started to create 3d animation clips. I've found out that even though 3D max may look complicated, it's sole base of being a animation program it's actually quite simple. However it still maintains it power for editing, controlling, lighting, etc... Below shown is the short clip I have created with my name bouncing and a ball flying around. This was just to learn the basis of 3D max and its capabilities. However with further experience I am hoping to create many more animations to a higher standard with the help of the tutorials from both 3D max and www.youtube.com.

more graphic design


More graphic design work that i've created.

3D Design

Recently i've been interested in learning how to create my own 3d figure model. Im using a program named Poser 7 which is a good program for beginners to 3d figure design such as myself. It has many functions and capabilities in creating your own character, such as different skins, a variety of body figures, body positioning and many other options, that go into very specific detail. Soon enough I should have my 1st 3d figure model completed in a movie, hopefully by the end of this week.

Graphics

During the recent Christmas break, i've become addicted to adobe photoshop and the power that it contains. Graphic design has always been one of my favourite types of media and its only recently that i've really started working with the program and trying to understand its capabilities. Shown below are a couple of pieces that i've composed during my time of understanding photoshop.
